portion of the performance period after the change in control.
The change in control severance agreements have a three-year term and are automatically renewable
each January 1 for another three-year term. An executive whose employment is not terminated within two
years of a change of control will not be entitled to receive any severance payments under the change in
control severance agreements.
Generally, pursuant to the agreements, a change of control is deemed to occur:
(i) if any person acquires 20% or more of the Company’s voting securities (other than securities
acquired directly from the Company or its affiliates);
(ii) if a majority of the Directors as of the date of the agreement are replaced other than in specific
circumstances; or
(iii) upon the consummation of a merger of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company other
than (a) a merger where the Company’s Directors immediately before the change in control
constitute a majority of the directors of the resulting organization, or (b) a merger effected to
implement a recapitalization of the Company in which no person is or becomes the beneficial
owner of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of
the Company’s then-outstanding securities.
If a change of control had occurred as of December 31, 2009, the following payments, or other
benefits would have been made.
